SA students of color outperformed the citywide rates for white children. So did Success’ special-needs scholars, and those who live in shelters.

Plainly, the network’s growth (enrollment is up 38 percent over last year) hasn’t compromised its high academic quality.

If Success Academy were its own school district, it’d be the seventh-largest in the state — and also the best-performing on these exams. (Yes, it beats Scarsdale.)

Some families may not want to send their child to a school with such a strong emphasis on traditional academic excellence. But Success provides the opportunity for those who do — unlike far too many regular public schools, especially in low-income areas.

Success Academy’s expansion is a boon to the city’s black and Hispanic children. The kids shouldn’t suffer for the sake of an adult dispute.
